Wednesday - Sarah Walker
With Sarah Walker. Including Tchaikovsky: Marche slave, Op 31. Grainger: Country Gardens. Handel: Music for the Royal Fireworks. Walton: Suite (Henry V). Gottschalk: Marche de nuit.
Today our Artists of the Week, the Nash Ensemble, play Beethoven's genial Septet. The Nash have an international reputation as a chamber ensemble, and yet they are loved for many different things: for commissioning and performing challenging new scores by leading composers; for unearthing obscure but deserving works by less-well known composers, and for giving peerless performances of the classics. And today's offering is firmly in that last category.
